Barn Site Preparation – Buffalo, IA

 

Delta-X can help you prepare a place for your new barn or post-frame building. One of the first steps in building a barn or post-frame building is planning for where the building will go, and how water will be directed away from it. Many problems resulting from water can be prevented by careful planning at the onset of a project.

Our goals in developing a site for your barn are to clear the area of organic material, establish a grade for the building that allows water to flow away from it, and to provide access for builder’s equipment to work around the building. 

Sometimes a barn or post-frame building is built on a slope, and then the inside is filled to create a level floor. Other times the ground is leveled first, and then the barn is built on that level ground. In this case, the ground was leveled first. Most of the barn site was low and needed to be filled. The area was filled with compactable gravel, leveled, and grading was done around the perimeter to direct water away from the building.

Concrete Removal – Davenport, IA

This concrete removal project was located in Davenport, IA. The property owner wanted the old garage slab and concrete footing removed from his back yard. The footing was dug up and the slab was removed.  You wouldn’t think it from the before picture, but there was actually quite a bit of concrete there!  After the rubble was cleaned up, the site was backfilled with quality topsoil and regraded to blend with the surrounding area.

The owners wanted to remove the garage, which they considered an eyesore. Within a couple days the garage was torn down, the footing was removed, and the site was re-graded.
